The characters have a background that was deeply affected by their involvement in the Communist Youth League and this, plus a love for the same woman once shared by Hu and Wang, gives the film some surprising romantic depth amid all the gruntingly effortful acrobatics and near-escapes from death. Mongolian director Wuershan skillfully juggles a multitude of genres here-adventure, romance, horror, comedy, fantasy and, of course, martial arts to bracingly kaleidoscopic effect and the action is nonstop, yet happily tinged with a resonant sense of history and social comment.

If you just relax and go with Mojin: The Lost Legend, you may find yourself enjoying it as much as a kid at a Saturday matinee of anything spanning movie history, from the perils of Pearl White to the exploits of Indiana Jones.
Their specific mission is to find the Equinox Flower, an eons-old treasure which can resurrect the dead.
They go back into action, however, when a mysterious, cult-leading millionairess (Liu Xiaoquing) hires them to discover the last resting place of an ancient Khitan princess in Inner Mongolia. This second film version of Tianxia Bachang’s best-selling series of novels follows the adventures of three tomb raiders, Shirley Yang ( Shu Qui), Hu Bayi (Chen Kun) and Wang Kaixuan (Huang Bo), now retired and living in New York.
